This notice corrects the minimum number of individuals and number of associated funerary objects published in a Notice of Inventory Completion in the Federal Register (66 FR 55955, November 5, 2001). A re-inventory and reassessment of collection resulted in a reduction of the minimum number of individuals and discovery of additional associated funerary objects from the site listed in this notice. Transfer of control of the items in this correction notice has not occurred. Correction In the Federal Register (66 FR 55955, November 5, 2001), paragraph 4, sentence 1 is corrected by substituting the following sentence: In 1981, human remains representing five individuals were recovered from site LA 31848 in New Mexico during legally authorized excavations and collections conducted by the Archeological Field School of Simon Fraser University.

Officials of the New Mexico State Office of the Bureau of Land Management also have determined that, pursuant to 43 CFR 10.2(d)(2), the 21 objects listed above are reasonably believed to have been placed with or near individual human remains at the time of death or later as part of the death rite or ceremony.
